For you baseball fans, Yogi and Joe Garagiola (sp?) both grew up in the same neighborhood in St Louis and wanted to play for the Cardinals. St Louis offered Joe a signing bonus of a few hundred dollars (I forget exactly how much). Yogi said he had played baseball with Joe for many years and knew he was better than Joe, so he insisted the Cardinals give him the same offer. They refused, so he signed with the Yankees. You all know the rest of the story.Yogi said it better: "When you come to a fork in the road, take it."
I visited Frost's grave one time, a lovely spot in Bennington, Vermont. His epitaph was a line from one of his poem's: "I had a lover's quarrel with the world." Pretty strong.As Robert Frost noted: “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.”
We had our annual air conditioning maintenance this afternoon. Haven't turned it on yet this year but that won't last long. Wife can't stand being hot.Today I asked DW if I could finally turn the furnace off & she said OK. Tomorrow she'll want the AC set to 68.
Same with my wife. We probably need our AC maintenance again here soon.We had our annual air conditioning maintenance this afternoon. Haven't turned it on yet this year but that won't last long. Wife can't stand being hot.
Good evening! Shot a 77 today. 5 over on the front and even par on the back. Played with the young guns today and it's a different world with those dudes. They can each carry the ball over 300 yards. Tomorrow it's back to the old dudes and I'll be the long knocker.
Wife brought home Chinese food tonight. Might as well get used to it because it will ALL be Chinese food before long.
I don't do Tabasco. I liked army SOS. I guess there is no accounting for taste with me.Minus the tabasco. Drink it if you must...
And his visions in which are spoke of in the Quran were drug induced. He did a lot of drugs to enhance his dreams.As I said Mo screwed up about a billion people. 1400 years later his grandsons are still at war.
A friend of mine wrote this about Mo:
In case we forget....
Mohammed the Prophet was a lovely man. He only went to war a few times, and yes - he did take wives of war captives as booty to be handed round as sex slaves to his followers, and yes, he did raid caravans and he committed acts of antisemitic genocide against the Banu Qurayza tribe in Medina, beheading all the males in the community and consigning the women and children to lives of slavery, and yes, he did mutilate people who offended him and he did order women to be murdered for insulting him, and yes, he did have sex with a nine year old girl, who was still playing on her swing and owning dolls when he raped her, and yes he advocated beating disobedient wives, and according to his wife (Aisha the former child bride) she had to scrape the dry encrusted sperm stains off his robes before he would go off to the mosque - BUT - apart from all that - he was still the "most perfect man who ever lived." And though he hated dogs, he DID like cats. What's not to respect about him?

Speaking of Knockers!Good evening! Shot a 77 today. 5 over on the front and even par on the back. Played with the young guns today and it's a different world with those dudes. They can each carry the ball over 300 yards. Tomorrow it's back to the old dudes and I'll be the long knocker.

My wife and I both got Filet of Fish yesterday and it looked about the same way!$18/hr for this? 😋
I was reading Lame Deer's epilogue about eating dog's head stew and he was comforted by it smiling at him.Dog or Cat?
Jim was the best character on that show.Warrior, you got me started down a rabbit hole with that video and I found this one. I remember laughing out loud the first time I saw this and I just laughed out loud again. Jim Ignatowski is right up there with Barney and Cramer for me.
A lot of Germans go to the Gran Canaria's for vacation. I have a German friend I have known since 1977 and she went there this past summer. Sent me some pictures in an email. Nice place.Good morning from ATX. Currently 63°F and cloudy. Humid. We're under flash flood watch until 1 pm tomorrow. More rain expected. Tornado sightings yesterday. Possible high of 74°F.
My German ex brother in-law pinged me yesterday from Gran Canaria off the coast of Africa. He's there with friends on a 4-week vacation. Good for him.
Happy Hump Day.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

The preacher man says it's the end of time
And the Mississippi River, she's a-goin' dry
The interest is up and the stock market's down
And you only get mugged if you go downtown
I live back in the woods you see
My woman and the kids and the dogs and me
I got a shotgun, a rifle and a four-wheel drive
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
Anyone know the origin of that expression?
Same with my wife. She keeps the house freezing. I do not like air conditioning or ceiling fans but we have a fan in every room and even outside. Ceiling fans keep my eyes watery and my sinus draining.Wife can't stand being hot.
Originated 1940s as something which knocks?Anyone know the origin of that expression?

Muslims love wiping out any Christian or Jewish history (witness the Al-Aqsa Mosque built on top of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem).
Mo really screwed up a billion folks.
